The Origin and Direction of Temptation

Our second week of learning to GLO (Get Led Out) continues. Last week, we looked at what temptation is and how it affects our lives directly. In this investigation, we discovered that temptation is a spiritual terrorist attack on our lives, infused by hatred and fear for us as the creation of God Almighty. How we respond to it will dictate whether we rise above the hate or sink into sin and/or destruction. This week we look at where temptation comes from and where it attacks us in our lives. By understanding the origins and direction of temptation, we can better prepare ourselves to overcome it and get lead out!

What Is Temptation?

We want to live in harmony with God and escape the world and the evil that Satan purports. However, many neglect to understand the attacks of the enemy and how those attacks happen in our lives. While we must put ourselves in the hands of God when the enemy rushes in like a flood, God also requires ownership and action from us to seek out and discover our freedom. God makes the way for our deliverance out of the hands of the enemy and temptations, but we must travel the path. A part of traveling that path is understanding the attacks and pitfalls the enemy puts in our way. Let’s look at the most used of these attacks and how it is implemented.
